iirc the wheels should be bbs with grey centres, and also it should have bubble leather? not sure on any other differences but im guessing it must say something on the logbook or under the bonnet?

M8,people could post allday here but phone the dealer and give the vin number is the only way to be sure...any e30 cab can get all the extras to make it look like a motorsport..but unless its made from the factory as one and registered as one,it dont mean nothing..

If its the 'Motorsport' thing you worried about,id get it checked out from the dealer

Hi
this has been done over and over, usually Gareth comes in with all the relevant links. But if he doesent come up soon do a search.

Wheels, leather, slightly lower, power hood are all clues. What colour is it ?
Check the vin number with main dealers will be conclusive. If the car is nearby whip round there take out rear seat bench and there will be a sticker underneath with the actual manufacture number.

It wony neccessarily say owt on the log book.

Peejay.
:wink:

Gazza will be here soon I'm sure.
